I don't know if you all remember the post I wrote awhile back (last january - click the label at the bottom to view it) about the birthday cards/graduation cards (etc) that I've saved throughout the years.
I was finally able to take all the cards out of the ziplock bags and sort through them. The first birthday card I had saved was indeed from my 13th birthday. Following that birthday would be my 8th grade graduation! I put all the cards in order by year and now they are all ready for scrapbooking.
For every card that Will got from my family, I began saving also...or at least I thought it was all me! Going through all the ziplock bags, I realized he had cards and letters saved before he met me...how awesome is that?
It's well over 10 years of memories that if we had tossed them in the garbage, we could never get them back.
I was able to read my Uncle's letters he sent to me and view his handwriting; it was a very emotional night. Not only do I miss him, but I will forever have his cards and letters to look at whenever I'd like.
From special messages to handmade cards, I can't wait for everything to be neatly displayed in an album...or two...or three!
